I am a Tour Edge guy, with a couple of bargain bin Top Flite irons thrown in. 

I think all the major brands have quality stuff, so for me it just boils down to the price, and service after the sale. 

In My Bag:
A whole bunch of Tour Edge golf stuff...... :beer:

What I could guarantee:  If you did double blind studies with every brand's clubs, it would be a big crapshoot on what club you hit the best.

In the bag:

 Driver PING

FW     Adams

Hybrids Taylor Made

Irons Callaway Steelhead XR

Putter Callaway Two Ball

Ball Callaway Super Soft Yellow. 

Before putting this on the list I really did not realize that I had more Callaway than anything else.

I don;t have any brand I like better that another. I play what looks good and plays the best when I am looking for a new club or clubs.

Right now:Driver PING

I've demo'd a TON of stuff this year so here's my favorite from what I've tested...

Driver: Taylormade

Woods: Cobra

Hybrid: Tour Edge

Irons: Srixon

Wedges: Titleist

Ball: Bridgestone

 

With irons a very close second were Titleist (716 CB) and Cobra FlyZ+.  For the ball I also could have gone with the Srixon Z-Star XV, too, but the Bridgestone just edged it.

Driver: Cobra FlyZ | 9.5 Degrees Draw | Fujikura Pro 63 Tour Spec
Fairway Wood: Cobra F7 3-4 Wood | 14.5 degrees | Fujikura Pro 65
Hybrid: Cobra F7 3-4H | 19 degrees | Fujikura Pro 75H
Irons: Srixon Z545 (4-Iron) | Srixon Z 765 (5-PW)
Wedges: Titleist Vokey SM6 | 50 F Grind | 54 M Grind | 58 K Grind
Putter: Odyssey O-Works 1W WBW

My only real brand loyalty is to Edel putters and Edel wedges. Can't see me ever buying a different brand as long as those are available.

I'd probably lean towards Mizuno irons, since that's what I have now and I love them, but I'd be open to try other brands.

For driver, woods, and hybrid, and ball, I'd play whatever works best. My choice of ball is often dictated by what brand is on sale (among a few that I like).

As far as base clubs for my bag, my first two choices are Callaway and Tour Edge. (I came close to getting TE driver and irons).

I also like Srixon/Cleveland, Ping and Hogan as possibilities, and Cobra (long clubs).

Among others, I respect the technology work of Titleist, Mizuno and TaylorMade. But, I've tried their clubs and find others normally perform and feel better for me.

Focus, connect and follow through!

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
